    Not your typical "What should I get?" thread...
    I did some cage switching this weekend and I now have two empty ten gallon tanks. One lid is secure enough for snakes, the other is not.

    I want OPINIONS! What should I get to put in these tanks... if anything? I'm not restricted to reptiles, either. I'm not a fan of insects or arachnids, but may consider it. I'd like to get a couple critters that I can make nice little displays for.

    So, what do you think? If this was YOU, what would you get? Just looking for ideas... :)

    Blue Phase Dumpys Tree Frogs.

    You can plant the tank and have some neat creatures.

    Can you fill it with water?
    I'd get a beta fish, or a panda oranda.

    Gotta love cresties, but IMO you'll need more than a 10 gallon when they grow up, because they like having vertical space to run around in. A 10 gallon is great for juveniles, though.

    Another good option would be leopard geckos; they come in a ton of pretty morphs, are super easy to take care of, and can live their whole life in a 10 gallon.

    While we're on the subject of geckos, you could keep a whole colony of viper geckos in a 10 gallon, I think! (They're pretty tiny, but super cute.)

    I do have some leos, but I'm keeping them in tubs... I have a colony of three females in a large tub and a male in a smaller tub.

    Cresteds are great, I used to have a couple of them. I've also had Tree Frogs, but not in a LONG time! Never had vipers, but I'm going to look up their care now :)

    Keep the ideas coming please!

    Wow, those Viper Geckos are absolutely ADORABLE! :D I think if I had a free 10 gallon tank, I'D get about five or six of those. lol.

    Also, if you're wanting other suggestions besides reptiles, you could go with a pair of mice or rats. They seem to do well in 10 gallon tanks. Then again, making them a cool setup is rather difficult. *Ponders*

    Naaa....go with the Geckos! ;)
